Hi, I’m looking for someone who is a good, experienced mechanic on 1956-1960 Evinrude outboard motors that lives in or near the Hudson Valley, Catskills, or Adirondack region. I will travel further if necessary. I have three Evinrudes on three separate boats: 1956 30hp, 1960 40hp, 1960 18hp They all run, but need some cleaning, tuning, etc…

Thank You, Joe

why not do it yourself with this great book … nothing complicated and a great hobby it covers all you need, with some utubes and help from this site should you hit a snag …… you could become the regions’s expert.

just dowload and print locally. best and cheapest book for $20 400 + pages

I agree with crosbyman. Tuning anything on a running motor should not take too long, especially if you end up having to drive a while to have somebody else fix it, which would probably also end up costing you a good deal depending on who you bring it too. Cleaning a carb does not take long, and even redoing the entire electrical system should not take more than a day or two. replacing lower unit oil should not take long either.
